Best route ever from Kingston, Ontario to Portland Maine. Highway 3
across the Adironracks, crashed at the Hotel Saranac, this morning down Lake
Champlain on the NY side to cross over at Rutland Vt., nip to Lebanon and down
to Concord NH, over to Portsmouth NH on #4 and up to Portland on
I-95. At Rutland it was summer in the Maritimes – 20
degrees, leaves out, sunshine. I lay on mown grass out behind the
Friendly’s after we ate lunch. We drove through the birthplace
of the US Navy on the south end of Lake Champlain, but made a note to check
it out on a shorter French and Indian Wars / Last of the Mohicans loop.
